TYRES
Tyre safety
The tyres are the only contact
between the car and the road, so it is
essential to keep them in good
condition.
You must make sure that your tyres
conform to local
regulations.
When they need to be
replaced, only tyres of
the same
dimension,
profile should be used.
Tyres fitted to the car should
either be identical to those fitted
originally or conform to those
recommended by
RENAULT Dealer.

When the tread has worn down to
the level of these pads, they become
visible 2: the tyres concerned must
be replaced now as only 1.6 mm
maximum of tread remains and this
is not sufficient to maintain good
grip on wet roads.
Incidents which occur
driving, such as striking the kerb,
may damage the tyres and could
lead to misalignment of the front
axle geometry.
An overloaded car, long journeys by
motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on
poorly surfaced minor roads will
lead to more rapid tyre wear and
affect safety.
